<p>In this release we have merged the documentation for the CSS and PDI frameworks into a single <a href="index.html">User Guide</a>. This will help developers to gain quick access to all the documentation for both frameworks.</p>

<h3>PHP 5.3 Support</h3>

<p>Beginning with Beta 2 we have added support for PHP 5.3. This will enable you to take advantage of the new closure and lambda functions features of PHP 5.3</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
    $page['#button']-&gt;click(function()  {
        C()-&gt;alert('Hello World! - PHP 5.3 Rules!');
    });
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<h3>Switchboard</h3>

<p><img class="right margin" src="images/switchboard.png" width="48" alt="Switchboard" />
The switchboard takes the framework a step further in helping developers to quickly develop their own MVC based solutions.</p>

<h3>Embedded Applications</h3>

<p>Imagine being able to create an application that you can insert into just about any web page with a single line of HTML code. The embedded feature makes it easier to re-use, share or import your PDI applications into any static or dynamically generated web page (e.g. ASP.Net, JSP, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc)</p>

<h3>Web Page Plugins</h3>

<p><img class="right margin" src="images/puzzle.png" width="48" alt="Plugins" />
With the new plugin support you can create your own re-useable <strong>Datagrids</strong>, <strong>Listbox</strong>, <strong>TreeViews</strong> or <strong>Navigation Menus</strong> that can be easily added to a  web page.</p>

<h3>Rich Element Extension</h3>

<p>Adding new features to your rich elements could not have been easier. With a single method call you can transform your elements into something beautiful.</p>

<h3>System Events</h3>

<p>With system events you can now receive system-wide notifications whenever the session has started or a web page has been initialized.</p>

<h3>Template Binder Enhancements</h3>

<p><img class="right margin" src="../pdi-examples/views/images/id.png" width="48" alt="Template" />
The new <strong>tplEdit</strong> option makes it easier to add editing features to your data lists, tables and repeater.</p>
